South Cila Canal.
tPhenix Gazette.l

kFnOtnlA UdZeULe.
 Mir o. F. Thornton, of the South Gila Canal Company, arrived in the city by yesterdays train and furnish ed the Gazette with the following in. formation relating to the construction of that important factor in the future of the section of the country which it will bring to the front as one of the finest fruit growing districts in the Territory.
 The company has been regularly in- corporated and is known as the South Gila Canal Company with a capital stock of $l 100000 divided into 10000 shares at par value of $50 per share. Its incorporators are Robert McPher- son, of California, w. E. Pope, of St. Louis, and O. F. Thornton, of Phoenix. The 1ncorporators, together with c. W. Mauk and G. w. Cameron, will constitute a board of trustees. The object of the company is the enlarge ment of the Cameron ditch to a width of twenty feet at the bottom, to carry four feet of water and its extension from its head near the west end of the Oatman canyon nearly opposite Agua Caliente on the south side of the Gila river, and it's further extension to Tex. as Hill, distance of thirty miles. It will cover from l5,00O to 2O,o0O acres of the very finest lands of the GiIa bottom in Maricopa and Yuma coun- ties. The preliminary survey and To- cation of the canal have been eomplet- ed and the cont, act let to W. E. Pope, the work to be completed on or before

March lst, 1888. The principal place of business of thc company is at Aztec, five miles from the station of that name on the Southern Pacific railroad in Yuma county, where an office will be built in the next sixty | days. A telephone line will be built from the lower end to the head of the canal connecting with in termediate points for the convenience of its operation.
 The lands contiguous to it are adap ted to the growth of the orange, lemon, lime, fig, olive, date, banana and all deciduous fruits, and the season is as early as that of Yuma, while it is fully one month ahead of the most forward parts of Southern California This one feature will bring the country into favorable prominence as fruit grow ing section, to say nothing of its supe riority of soil and climate.
 Mir. McPherson, who is an old and experienced grower of grapes, and whose vineyard in California has national ,eputation, paid his first visit to the country to be opened up by this enterprise last January, and after looking over the canal location was so favorably impressed with the lands and their contiguity to the railroad that he determined to undertake its construc- ton.
 The capital stock in the estimation of competent and experienced men, is considered a fair valuation for the franchise.
 The head of the canal is considered by those versed in such affairs to be splendidly located for its economical construction and for obtaining the greatest volume of water afforded by the Gila river, for the irrigation of the vast bodies of fertile lands through which it passes. As an instance of the advantages offered by this coun- try over California it needs only to be stated that in that state raw lands are held at $500 Ter acre and water costs 5000 per inch, while in this valley the lands being government are sub bject to entry and the cost of water with the completion of this canal will be nominal compared with California, it being the intention of the company to furnish 1t at cost not to exceed $l.50 per acre per year. In addition to their canal project the same gentlemen have incorporated another company to be known as the South Gila Develop ment Company, its objects being simi lar to those of the Arizona Improve ment company of this city. The man agement are going to turn their atten- tion to the development of that coun try and will hold out inducements to capital to seek investments in their midst. Mr. Thornton further says the people in that section are awake to their interests and are jubilant over the prospects. Well they may be for nature has done noble part in giving them fertile soll with an abundance of water to cause it to yield rich har- vests in return for their labors. | With such men at the helm as those | mentioned in the beginning of this ar ticle and with the blessings of nature the time IS not far distant when they can rise up and thank both nature and man for theirsrespective parts in con verting their barren deserts into pro ductive vineyards and waving fields of grain.

THE LEMHI INDIANS,
They are Killing Large Numbers OF
Deer for the Hides Alone.

About 160 Lemhi Indians have been
in the mountains at the head of Trail
Creek, the East Fork of Wood River,
the head of Little Wood River, and
surrounding country, for weeks, hant-
ing and fishing. About 40 of them,
under the head OF Tendoy, one of
their chiefs, camped above Muldoon,
during the past two weeks, and only
left for their reservation a couple of
days ago.
These Indians, under pretense of
laying in a supply Of venison for the
winter, have slaughtered large num-
Der of deer for the hides alone, and
left the carcasses rotting in the sun.
Their method OF Misunderstanding
out so as to cover a stretch Of country
miles in widts, and driving the game
to a common rendezvous, which is
generally deep ravine or other SINH
lar place, whence it cannot escape-is
so effective that scarcely any animal
once raised by them can escape de-
struction.
Unless stop is put to this indis-
crimnate and useless slaughter, the
mountains will soon be exhausted of
the game which is the boast of this
region of country.

They Clash with the District Attorney
In Very Important Matter.
There was"a rafting of dry bones''
at the Courthouse to day, as an attor-
ney expressed it. The grand jury, it
appears, having returned six indict
ments for perjury against ex-officials,
proposed to bring in some ten or a
dozen more against other ex-officiaIs.
The District Attorney General Rob
erts) and his deputy (Mr. Bierbower)
objected to this, even to the extent of
refusing to draw up the indictments.
The grand jury persisted, and a con-
flict of authority was thus we'll joined.
At z o'clock this afternoon, the
grand Jury were called into court,
when the facts were stated, substan
TALLY as above, to His Honor Judge
Broderick.
Hon. True Rollins, foreman of the
grand jury, said that the District At
torney refused to draw up indictments
as found by the grand jury, claiming
that the charges were not offenses !;
and the grand jury did not propose to
be dictated to by him.
General Roberts SAID that that was
the fact, exactly. The District At
torney was the legal adviser of the
grand jury, and did not propose TO
draw up indictments when offenses
had not been committed.
His Honor thsreupon informed the
grand jury that the District Attorney,
being their legal adviser, he was the
judge of the law, and could not be
required to draw up indictments that
he knew could not be followed by
Foreman Rollins therefore suggest
ed that the grand jury had no fur
ther business to transact beyond pre-.
pairing their final report.
The District Attorney said he would
have the remaining indictments ready
by 8 or 9 o'clock this evening.
The grand jury thereupon retired
to their room, and adjourned until
Monday,
